Isaiah 5:13-19 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

13. Therefore my people go into captivity for lack of knowledge.Their honourable men are famished,and their multitudes are parched with thirst.

14. Therefore Sheol has enlarged its desire,and opened its mouth without measure;and their glory, their multitude, their pomp, and he who rejoices amongst them, descend into it.

15. So man is brought low,mankind is humbled,and the eyes of the arrogant ones are humbled;

16. but the Lord of Hosts is exalted in justice,and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.

17. Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture,and strangers will eat the ruins of the rich.

18. Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood,and wickedness as with cart rope;

19. Who say, “Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it;and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come,that we may know it!”
